In recent times, incidents of cars being stolen has been on an uptick in many parts of Delhi and adjoining satellite cities. While vehicles as a whole are often stolen, there is also a high specific demand for alloys and LED light units that are easier to take off than an entire vehicle itself.

It is highly recommended to park vehicles in locations where there is enough lighting and preferably under the gaze of a high-definition CCTV camera. While security systems like engine immobilizer, gear locks, brake locks and alarm devices may be bifurcated by skilled burglars with nefarious intentions, it is still recommended to invest in one or more of these so that these may be a possible deterrent.
